MacOS WebDAV Instructions
These instructions are for Mac users. Windows users should follow the Windows WebDAV Instructions.
WebDAV is a protocol that allows you to edit files on a website from your computer, as if the files were present on your computer. MacOS has native support for this protocol - no additional software is required. At ODU, WebDAV is only supported for faculty websites and a few other specific websites. University pages in the web content management system and faculty websites in WordPress cannot be managed with the WebDAV protocol.
- In Finder, choose Go > Connect to Server
- Enter your website address. Use the example address below and replace the username at the end with your username. This address is different from the address visitors will use to see your website. Example: https://webdav.odu.edu/~jsmith
- Click Connect
Once connected, you will be able to directly edit your files using the programs of your choice.
